At Desert Marigold, we strive to bring the principals of music through direct experience. The arts are an integral part of Waldorf Curriculum and therefore we create special opportunities for the students to share and perform for their parents and friends. There will be a Holiday Winter Concert on Friday, December 14th to showcase the students work.

Dress for the concert is Black and White or Holiday Jewel Toned Colors (Green, Red, Royal Blue). The boys should plan to wear a nice pair of pants, preferably nicer shoes than tennis shoes, and a collared shirt (short or long sleeves). The girls can wear black pants, a black skirt with a dress shirt or dress (black or jewel toned). Dress/skirt length must be below knee.

Note for instrumental musics students:Please help your child prepare for this concert by making sure they are spending some time practicing at home, and also making sure that they have their instrument with them every Tuesday and Thursday.

If you didn’t get a chance to buy a DMS Calendar at the Winter Faire, no worries. There are a few copies of this limited printing available in the main office and the high school office for sale.

The artwork was created by students from Kindergarten to Grade 8. A calendar is symbolic of the yearly rhythm. Waldorf schools across the world integrate art in the curriculum – from wet-on-wet painting in early childhood to learning about the platonic solids in 8th grade. Each month includes a line from the lower grades morning verse.

The calendars are selling for $15. All proceeds go the senior class fund. They are a wonderful holiday gift.

The DMS High School Class of 2019 has set up a Go Fund Me campaign to help raise funds for their Senior Class Trip.

The 12th graders are appreciative of any amount you are able to contribute. The goal is to raise $5,000.

Please spread the word with friends, family, and of course share the link on social media! The more people we can get involved, the better. This is a great Christmas gift to give your senior, in lieu of gifts.
